Tesla Wall Connector EV Charger Review
Tesla’s new generation of EV charger is better than ever with a selection of helpful upgrades that set it apart from it’s predecessors. One of the chargers biggest and most noticeable updates is the ability to use it on other brands of electric vehicles instead of Tesla. Other new features include built in Wifi to ‘smart charge’ your vehicles, as well as a new 7.3 metre cable as standard.
Capable of delivering up to 22 kW of charging power straight to your car, this three phase EV charger is now more versatile than ever, especially for non Tesla Users! The handy Tesla app is a flexible way to schedule a time to charge your vehicle straight from your smart phone, rather than exclusively being used through the Tesla cars themselves.
Subtle design changes also add quality of life features such as; a button on the charge handle that pops open your Tesla charging port, a recess at the top of the unit to help wind the cable around the body for easier storage, and also a selection of colourful glass front plates in 4 options if you fancy a design change.

WHAT WE THOUGHT
Overall Review
The Tesla Wall Connector is a brilliant, well made product that’s a welcome addition to any home or business. The flexibility you get with this new generation of charger opens the doors to non Tesla users who want a sleek looking unit which utilises three-phase charging.
The generous 7.3 metre lightweight cable gives you more wiggle room if you need to park further from your property, and the thermal monitoring feature means you won’t have to worry about the unit overheating during hot weather.
Unlike other products on the market Tesla have provided a range of mounting options and colour face plates to customise your experience. You have the option to purchase a Tesla Cable Organiser featuring a sturdy bracket to keep your cables neatly stowed, along with a chassis holder to reduce wear and tear. If wall mounting isn’t an option you can purchase the Tesla Connector Pedestal, made up of a sturdy Aluminium post capable of supporting both single and dual mounted configurations for charging one or two vehicles at the same time.
